IMPROVEMENT IN Por-scRAPERs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [63,9 1S., dated June1, 1875; application led September 22, 1874.

` this specification.

The object of my invention is to furnish a convenient and handy devicefor scraping kettles, boilers, and similar utensils of any dimensions,havin g either straight sides with angles, or curved sides of anyradius.

It consists in a scraper made in form of an elongated cup, with slopingsides, straight and curved edges, angular points, and a natgrinding-surface for keeping the scrapingedges sharp.

Figure l is a plan view, Fig. 2 a side eleva, tion, and Fig. 3 anunder-side view, of my device.

A is the scraper, made from any suitable material. Itis made in form otan elongated cup or bowl, and may have its bottom closed or leftpartially or entirely open, as desired, and -hasits sides inclined orsloped inwardly. Iprefer to have the bottom open, as shown in thedrawings, thereby permitting any substance removed t'rom the vessel bythe scraper used with the bowl turned upward to pass through withoutinterfering with the hand, or requirl ing a special act to remove it.When used in the inverted position shown in Fig. 3, the openings affordbetter facilities for holding the implement with greater firmness.

The side B is constructed so as to have the straight edge D E and theshort-curved edge E F. The side C is constructed with the long,irregular, large-curved edge F Gr D.

It will be seen that the scraper, when formed with the sides made asdescribed, will have the sharp, angular points D F.

When the edges become dull in use they may be readily sharpened bygrinding on the horizontal surfaces a b.

It will be seen that with a scraper constructed as herein described,vessels having sharp angles, straight sides, or sides curved on anyradius, may be cleansed.

Itis operated by passing it upward or downward over the surface to becleansed. It can be readily reversed or inverted, and any edge or pointbrought to bear on the vessel.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire Yto secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

A pot-scraper, A, constructed with the straight edge D E, and curvededges E F and F Gr D, as described, and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I cla-im the foregoing as my own I hereto affix mysignature in presence of two witnesses.
